Plans for 2011

• Kari is working on a number of P&Qs.
  New, experimental designs. So she is right now - and for the next many months quite busy.

• Confirmation. Camilla's confirmation (of her Protestant Lutheran Faith) will take place Sunday, June 5.
  Last Thursday (Dec. 9, 7-8 pm) we saw her communion class ``perform'' a resemblance of ``high mass'' in that church

• Glyndenbourne, Sunday 19 June. Dines' cousin Lise is organising tickets for the performance of Don Giovanni.
  Dines is then planning to give seminars at a number of universities: York, Newcastle, Oxford, Swansea and Essex.

• Latemar. Plans are afoot to gather the family:
  • Nikolaj, Bodil, Marianne (13), Katrine(10), Jakob (9),
  • Charlotte, Wei Wei, Camilla (14), Caroline (10),
  • Kari and I
  for a full reunion at Hotel Latemar in Oberbozen (Soprabolzano) in South Tyrol (Alto Adige) in Italy -
  for a full week around August 1, 2011.
  • The hotel will, from Spring 2011, again be managed by the Verdorfer/Weger family
    by the grandchild Renate of Frau Weger who was in charge in the 1980s.
    Therefore the above-referenced Web page is not yet ready,
  • We stayed there first time in August 1980. All four of us.
  • Well, we stayed for 4-5 times at the Villa Italia,
    then rented by the Rusinow family whom we knew from Vienna - while they were not staying there.
    Several times 3-4 weeks! With Charlotte or Nikolaj's "best" friend(s).
  • Since mid 1980s at the Hotel: too much cooking and cleaning (for, of course, Kari)!
  • Last time Charlotte and Nikolaj were there, "regularly" was around 1990.
  • Kari and Dines went there a few times during their stays in Macau (1992-1997).
  • We've had Camilla there for a week in October 2005.
    Marianne Summer 2008.
    Camilla and Marianne August 2009.
  • This will possibly be our last chance to gather "the clan".

• Dines: Possible Papers for 2011: My only plan for papers are:
  Towards a Domain Science: A Foundation for Domain Engineering
  - maybe to be "rounded off" by a paper:
  Deriving Requirements from Domain Descriptions: A Different Foundation.

  Dines is having some problems getting the messages across:
  that one must describe application domains and
  that one can derive requirements from such descriptions -
  and that one must therefore re-distribute much of the conventional wisdom of "requirements engineering"
  between the emerging field: "domain engineering" and the "revised/reformulated requirements engineering" field.

Otherwise it seems that 2011 will not bring new ``excursions'' to European or other univs. for Dines to give more PhD lectures.
Enough seems enough.
